introdution
This project celebrates the union of heritage and contemporary design. The building, formerly a telegraph office, retains its historically significant façade while seamlessly integrating it into a taller, modern structure, creating a dialogue between past and present.
design philosophy
Careful attention was given to preserving the architectural integrity of the original façade, ensuring that the historic character is respected and enhanced. The new construction complements the existing urban fabric while introducing contemporary functionality and form.
design philosophy
The project was commissioned with a value of €6,000,000, reflecting both the complexity of integrating heritage elements and the ambition of creating a contemporary landmark that honors its past.
The approach emphasizes a sensitive marriage of old and new, restoring the original elements with precision while layering modern materials and proportions. This balance ensures the building tells a cohesive story of continuity, adaptation, and evolution.
